Programming Problem 1. Rock, Paper, Scissors This is your traditional rock-paper-scissors game, where two players select one of the three options and a result is produced based on their selection. For reference: Rock beats scissors Paper beats rock Scissors beats paper For this problem, you are to assume that two human players will play against each other and will input their choices accordingly. The input for each player will be in the form of buttons. Once a player clicks on a button, the rest of their buttons are locked in place (i.e. disabled). Once the other player selects their pick, the program outputs who won or if there was a draw. This isn’t exactly the most realistic way to code the game as it would be better if both players made their choice at the same time, but we’ll just have to chalk this up as a limitation for our exam. Aside from the game itself, the program should track the score of each player. Basically, if one wins, that…
Hands-On Activity 4-4
BuzzButtons is a novelty item company manufacturing personalized
lapel buttons that buzz randomly. The buttons are marketed as a
conversation starter, and the company's slogan is "It starts the buzz!"
The owner is promoting his buttons by offering them at 99 cents
each. He wants you to design a program asking the user for his or her
name for the button, an e-mail address, and the number of buttons to
order. The program should then add a 6% sales tax and a flat shipping
rate of $2.00. The program displays the information the user enters
as well as the button price total, sales tax amount, shipping amount,
and order total. The company contacts the user by e-mail later for
shipping address information.
Using pseudocode, design an algorithm that asks the user for the
number of fixed-price items to order, adds sales tax and flat-rate ship-
ping, and displays the result. Save your pseudocode file in Notepad as
buzzButtons.txt.

- Problem Statement for Picture Frame Program A piece of wire is to be bent in the form of a rectangle to put around a picture frame. The length of the picture frame is 1.5 times the width. Write a program that asks the user to enter the length of the wire and outputs the length and width of the picture frame. Part 1. Understand the ProblemThe problem gets the length of the wire for the frame from the user. The ratio of length to width of the frame is a constant (1.5). The length and width of the picture frame that are to be calculated and displayed. The length of wire represents the perimeter of the rectangular picture frame. The equation for the perimeter of a rectangle is: Perimeter = 2 * (length + width) This is an equation with two unknowns, but the ratio of the lengthto the width (length = ratio * width) so substitute for length in the perimeter equation and solve for width: Perimeter = 2 * (ratio * width + width) ratio * width + width = Perimeter / 2 width * (ratio + 1) =…arrow_forwardTask using C language Two spacecrafts are traveling at different speeds from Earth to Mars. While spacecraft A doubles its speed every day, spacecraft B triples its speed in the same period. Given their initial speeds, your task is to determine how many days spacecraft B will take to travel faster than spacecraft A. If the initial speed of spacecraft A is 7, it will be 14 after 1 day, 28 after 2 days, and so on. If the initial speed of spacecraft B is 4, it will be 12 after 1 day, 36 after 2 days, and so on. If the initial speed of spacecrafts A and B are 7 and 4, respectively, B will be faster than A after 2 days, as the speed of A will be 28 and the speed of B will be 36.

If theamount deposited is P, the stated interest rate is r, and interest is compounded m timesper year, then the balance in the account after one year is P⋅(1+rm)m. For instance, if$1000 is deposited at 3% interest compounded quarterly (that is, 4 times per year), thenthe balance after one year is1000⋅(1+.034)4=1000⋅1.00754=$1,030.34.Interest rates with different compounding periods cannot be compared directly.The concept of APY (annual percentage yield) must be used to make the comparison. TheAPY for a stated interest rate r compounded m times per year is defined byAPY=(1+rm)m−1.(The APY is the simple interest rate that yields the same amount of interest after oneyear as the compounded annual rate of interest.) Write a program to compare interestrates offered by two different banks and determine the most favorable interest rate. SeeFig. 4.24.arrow_forward
- Palindrome A palindrome is a word or a phrase that is the same when read both forward and backward. Examples are: "bob," "sees," or "never odd or even" (ignoring spaces). Write a program whose input is a word or phrase, and that outputs whether the input is a palindrome. Ex: If the input is: bob the output is: bob is a palindrome Ex: If the input is: bobby the output is: bobby is not a palindrome Hint: Start by removing spaces.

The program should take as input the previous balance on the account and the total amount of additional charges during the month. The program should then compute the interest for the month, the total new balance (the previous balance plus additional charges plus interest), and the minimum payment due. Assume the interest is 0 if the previous balance was 0 but if the previous balance was greater than 0 the interest is 2% of the total owed (previous balance plus additional charges). Assume the minimum payment is as follows: new balance for a new balance less than $50 $50.00 for a new balance between $50 and $300 (inclusive) 20% of the new balance for a new balance over $300 So if the new balance is $38.00 then the person must pay the whole $38.00; if the balance is $128 then the person must pay $50; if the balance is $350 the minimum…arrow_forward
